New York, NY (Top40 Charts) With modular synths, old tape machines and ethereal vocals, new Danish duo AyOwA channel their Nordic roots creating their dark, electronic, atmospheric songs. Sung in Danish, but with a certain universal and dreaming approach, AyOwA combines noise pop with electronica and melodies with improvisation, in an evocative and playful mix.
Together with the duo's third member - drummer Anders Meinhardt - AyOwA has an energetic and captivating live show. AyOwA had a busy festival season in 2017 with appearances at Spot and Roskilde Festival, the opening of the
Marina Abramowich Exhibition at Louisiana and extensive concert activities at many of the country's venues. Then they headed straight into the studio to work their magic on new material.
Their songwriting skills came to the fore-front when their song "
Sommer" was featured on Danish X Factor, in February 2018. One of the judges groups 'Sol and Christian' sang AyOwA's dreamy song, gaining a new popular audience in their homeland. Now you can enjoy new remixes from Danish EDM Maestro Oscar Bandersen, psych-indie king Masasolo and the enigmatic Marquis on Spotify in a newly released remix package.
AyOwA have been played on BBC
Radio 1, BBC6 Music,
Radio X, Apple
Music Beats 1, as well as P3 and P6 in Denmark. They were also selected as one of "5 to Watch" in 2017 by Nordic blog and showcase JaJaJa and have also been featured in
Wonderland Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Noisey, Vice, The Independent (UK) and Huffington Post (US), marking the rare case of airplay and interest abroad for a Danish-language based band.
